Imagine if a Chinese of Russian documentary showed up in an area of the US that had recently suffered from instability or disruption - like after the George Floyd rights for example - do you really think that there would be nobody would keep an eye on them; no local government employees, no PR people, no local community groups?
If that Russian/Chinese team interviewed a local cashier, and then someone said something privatly to that cashier, and the the cashier then said 'no further comment', would you immediately frame that in your mind as "A party minder threatening to send them to Guantanamo Bay?" Because that's the same scenario that was described in the AP piece.
Speaking of the George Floyd protests, there were videos of "workers" "innocently" leaving a pickup truck full of bricks in an area that the protestors were going to be passing through the next day. Like just parking a pickup truck and removing the tarp to reveal the neatly stacked bricks below it.
OP (the one from lemm ee) is just showing his privilege every time he comments.
